Without thumbs, they can't hold hammers, or light cigarettes.
Without hammers, they can't build starships.
Without cigarettes, their nerves stay too jangled to travel interstellar distances - they just don't have the patience.

Plus -you can't open the window on a star-ship for political correctness reasons and thumbs or not,
your cigarette lighter would not work out there in the void.
